Seahorses Are Sold Out by Constanze Spengler
A high-spirited story about an enterprising only child and a father's juggle to work from home Mika's father works from home and he's very busy! He can never find time for the promised swimming trip. So Dad allows Mika to choose herself a pet from the store while he finishes the project-something quiet like a mouse. And so begins a wonderfully turbulent story in which Mika brings home one animal after another... The mouse gets lost so she gets a dog to find it. the dog is followed by a seal, the seal a penguin. How many animals can come to stay before a harassed father notices? This is a high-spirited story about an enterprising only child and a father's juggle to work from home."I love the way Mika is independent, makes their own fun, and handles any difficulties that ariseThe illustrations, which look to be paint and crayon, are colorful and full of motion and detail. Mika’s dad, while utterly immersed in work, is also kind and is drawn with love and warmth."
Starred review
-- Youth Services Book Review"Lively, colorful illustrations drawn in loose black outlines track this incredible saga of a bored kid, an opportunistic pet-shop owner, and a clueless father in comic double-page spreads chronicling Mika’s wild, unsupervised activities, culminating in a surprising climax. Absolutely hilarious."
